Community Information and Field Day on Giant Gippsland Earthworm Habitat, Identification and Management.

25/7/2023

Comments

 
​The Bass Coast Landcare Network and project partners invite you along to this exciting Giant Gippsland Earthworm community information and field day.
Picture
Giant Gippsland Earthworms are only found in an area roughly the size of 40,000 ha in South and West Gippsland, Victoria.  The majority of its known current habitat is on farmland and farmers can play a vital role in its conservation and management. It is essential that farmers and land managers continue to work together to manage valuable habitat in ways that protect and enhance GGE habitat, ensuring that the earthworms continue to survive and thrive.
 
This community workshop will cover:
  • Giant Gippsland Earthworm distribution and biology
  • Habitat identification and management requirements
  • Landforms and associated Ecological Vegetation Classes (EVCs)
  • Modified revegetation planting lists and densities
  • Habitat sensitive management guidelines
  • A nearby farm walk to known Giant Gippsland Earthworm colonies

Event Details.

Date:                            Friday 25th August 2023.
Time:                           10.30am to 2.00pm. 
Address:                       Meet at the Bena Hall, 41 Main Road, Bena. 
Google maps link:        https://goo.gl/maps/EeLYq9srvSkBJJXK6
(We will also be visiting a local farm with known earthworm colonies)
 
Morning tea and light lunch will be provided. 

For further information please email Joel Geoghegan on
[email protected] or call on 0409 705 652.

The ‘Enhanced Knowledge and Protection of the Giant Gippsland Earthworm’ project received grant funding from the Australian Government.

Save Western Port Woodlands at DAL Committee Hearing

United … Bass Coast Mayor Michael Whelan and Deputy Mayor Rochelle Halstead lead councillors and community members into the Bass Coast Distinctive Areas and Landscapes hearing at Cape Paterson Surf Lifesaving Club on the first day of the woodland alliance’s presentation. Photo: Kate Harmon
For Save Western Port Woodlands members and allies, the Bass Coast Distinctive Areas and Landscapes hearing was arduous, time-consuming, costly and also unexpectedly worthwhile. 
Protecting the woodlands from a surge in sand mining proved to be the major issue of the eight-week hearing, which started in the Wonthaggi Town Hall in early March and closed in Spring Street in late April.

'Love your Reserve' Community Tree Planting - have you got love to give? - July 29th

7/7/2023

Comments

 
Picture
Kongwak Hills Landcare Group is coordinating a community tree planting event in the Kongwak Pioneer Reserve to celebrate National Tree Day, as the Reserve is in need of some love from its community! We’d love for you to join in to get plants in the ground. Dry years have diminished the north/west section such that a critical mass of understory and trees have died back, leaving the forest exposed to further dryness, loss of plants and proliferation of weeds. Replacing the understory, midstory and trees will restore this part of our beautiful reserve to a sustainable landscape and support its plants, animals and birds. KHLG want you to learn about Landcare, love your forest and learn how to give it the care it needs.
This event will be held on Saturday July 29th from 10am-4pm, with lunch provided.
